2 Lamar Hunt Major League Soccer and the American sports community lost a true treasure on December 13, 2006 when MLS founding investor, and investor-operator of FC Dallas and Columbus Crew Lamar Hunt peacefully passed away at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, Texas at the age of 74. Born on August 2, 1932 in El Dorado, Arkansas, Hunt is recognized as one of the greatest sports visionaries in American history and a pioneer professional soccer in the United States. Hunt helped make pro football history in 1960 by founding and organizing the American Football League. Long known for his role in the development of football as founder of the Kansas City Chiefs, Hunt s contributions to pro soccer have also had a major impact on sports in the U.S. The Hunt family stepped to the forefront of U.S. soccer in 1996 by becoming a charter investor in Major League Soccer, which was created with a unique singleentity operating structure, in which investors own an interest in the league in addition to individual teams. The Hunts were the original investor-operators of the charter teams from Columbus (Ohio) and Kansas City. Hunt made his greatest contribution to soccer in this country in , when he made pro soccer history by funding the construction of the first soccer-specific stadium in the United States as the Columbus Crew opened their revolutionary facility. The stadium broke ground on Aug. 14, 1998, and was finished in nine months and one day. Columbus Crew Stadium opened on May 15, 1999 and a sold-out, overflow crowd of 24,741 to watch the Crew defeat the New England Revolution 2-0. The 1999 MLS season proved to be a historic one for Hunt, as he was awarded the National Soccer Hall of Fame Medal of Honor -- the second to receive the medal reserved for extraordinary individuals whose positive contributions to soccer at the national level affected the course of soccer history in the United States. That year, he also saw the U.S. Open Cup Tournament renamed in his honor. The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, recognized as U.S. Soccer s National Championship, is an annual competition open to all amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. Dating back to 1914, the single-elimination tournament is the oldest annual team tournament in U.S. sports history. Having taken over the operations of Dallas in 2003, Hunt s youngest son Dan joined the Hunt Sports Group to help make Texas soccer history by breaking ground on the team s sparkling new Pizza Hut Park on Feb. 18, The 20,500 seat, state-of-the-art soccer-specific stadium in Frisco became the first soccer stadium built through a coordination of both private and public funds. Hunt Sports Group, the City of Frisco, Collin County and the Frisco Independent School District partnered to build the facility that features 17 championship-quality soccer fields adjacent to the stadium. Through Hunt s visionary leadership, Pizza Hut Park has become the model for soccer-specific stadiums in the United States. Since opening on Aug. 6, 2005 with a 2-2 draw between home-side FC Dallas and the MetroStars (now New York Red Bulls), the 117-acre facility has hosted nearly five million spectators and participants. Entering the 2006 season, Hunt-founded Crew Stadium and Pizza Hut Park were two of the three operating stadiums in Major League Soccer built specifically for soccer. The stadiums have hosted numerous high-profile events, including many memorable soccer games. At the 2004 MLS Cup, Hunt was presented the Commissioner s Award by MLS Commissioner Don Garber for being one of the league s founding fathers as well as a man who has championed soccer in the United States for nearly 40 years. As far back as 1982, Hunt was honored for his efforts to help establish pro soccer in America by being inducted into the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta, N.Y. Hunt has also been inducted into both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the International Tennis Hall of Fame, as well as the sports halls of fame of both Missouri and Texas. In 2005, the U.S. Soccer Foundation, the major charitable arm of soccer in the United States, presented Hunt with the Foundation s Lifetime Achievement Award FC Dallas Media Guide

FCD opened the 2012 season with a strong start in a 2-1 victory over New York at FC Dallas Stadium. Defender Zach Loyd put FCD on the board early with a goal in 11th minute. After NY failed to clear a cross from Andrew Jacobson into the box, Loyd sent a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Ryan Meara. The goal came on an assist from Blas Perez, a Panamanian striker making his debut with FCD. Dallas had several scoring opportunities at the end of the half, finally going up two goals after Ricardo Villar lofted a shot over Meara after receiving a throw ball from Perez. The 61st minute goal gave Perez his second assist of the game. Former FCD standout Kenny Cooper came on for NY and provided the Red Bulls with its goal in the 78th minute. Cooper took in a lobbed pass from teammate Thierry Henry and sent a high chip over Kevin Hartman.

POR: Perkins, Hanyer, Wallace, Palmer, Brunner, Alhassan, Jewsbury, Alexander (Marcelin 77), Chara, Boyd, Perlaza (Nagbe 45). Blas Perez scored his first MLS goal but Portland substitute Darlington Nagbe kept FCD from celebrating three points in a 1-1 draw. Perez scored in the 22nd minute after a cross from Carlos Rodriguez found FCD academy product Bryan Levya on the right side of the Timbers box. Leyva, making the first start of his career, put a hard shot on Timbers keeper Troy Perkins that was brushed away only to find a wide-open Perez waiting to put in the rebound. Dallas provided plenty of pressure early on but after a choppy start, including early cautions to Rodney Wallace and Jack Jewsbury, the visitors came on strong to end the half. The Timbers pressed hard in the final 20 minutes of the opening stanza, getting a couple of good chances on Kevin Hartman s goal. A free kick by Timbers captain Jack Jewsbury in the 36th minute saw a header from Lovel Palmer hit the post. Hyndman brought on defender George John in place of Leyva at halftime. Portland nearly pulled away in the second half as Kris Boyd had two clear chances on Hartman s goal. One came outside of the penalty box forcing Hartman to punch it out. The second came off a giveaway by Dallas in the area with Boyd finding some space but his shot was saved once again by Hartman. Neither team was able to register any quality chances on goal in the final 20 minutes of the game, trading fouls and possession as the game ended level.

KC: Nielsen, Besler, Collin, Myers, Slnovic, Convey (Peterson 93+), Espinoza, Kamara, Cesar, Zusi (Olum 91+), Sapong. Kevin Hartman came up huge against his old club once. It wasn t enough. Hartman saved Kei Kamara s penalty kick early in the second half, but Kamara got the last word when he scored in the 88th minute to give Sporting Kansas City a 2-1 victory over FCD in front of 15,161 at Livestrong Sporting Park on Sunday night. In the 25th minute, FCD made one of those fouls pay. They became the first team to score against KC this year when Ricardo Villar drove home a free kick, curling his shot over Jimmy Nielsen s wall and leaving the KC keeper rooted to his line after Myers was whistled for bringing down Blas Perez. Dallas seemed happy to take that 1-0 lead into the break, but it wasn t to be as Aurelien Collin equalized three-and-a-half minutes into first-half stoppage time. The goal came on a set piece after Roger Espinoza was fouled by Daniel Hernandez 35 yards out. Graham Zusi sent his free kick deep into the box, and Collin put his no-look header past Hartman for the 700th goal in Sporting s history.. Pertuz almost stole three points for the Hoops in the 86th minute, but his shot from 25 yards sailed high. Two minutes later, Myers ran into the corner to corral Zusi s pass, then crossed to Kamara for the game-winner. Zusi had two assists for Sporting (3-0-0) to lead MLS with four in three games.

RFK STADIUM DAL: Hartman, Benitez (Perea 76), Ihemelu, Loyd, Pertuz, Hernandez, Jacobson, Rodriguez (Leyva 69), Shea, Villar, Perez. DC: Willis, Dudar, McDonald, Russell, Woolard, Cruz (Pontius 76), DeLeon, De Rosario (King 84), Kitchen, Santos, Salihi (Boskovic 67). FCD fell victim to a second half surge by D.C. United, dropping a 4-1 result at RFK Stadium. A three-goal outburst in the second half proved the difference for United, spurred on by former FCD forward Maicon Santos and rookie Nick DeLeon. Meanwhile, FCD could not convert most of their scoring chances and dropped its second road decision in a row. Santos gave United their first lead of the season minutes later with a strike in the 28th minute. Receiving the ball from De Rosario, the striker quickly cut in on his left foot, and worked his way into shooting position 25 yards out. He then unleashed a rocket to the upper 90, leaving Kevin Hartman no chance. FCD fought back, and Blas Perez scored an equalizer in the last minutes of the first half. Joe Willis clearance was chested back towards the United goal by Daniel Hernandez. Emiliano Dudar failed to deal with the ball, and Perez, who started the play in an offside position, was in on a goal. The Panamanian s finish was collected, as he slid the all under Willis towards the far post. Santos wrapped up the scoring for United in the 73rd minute. Cruz started a quick counter from an FCD corner, and fed the ball to De Rosario down the right side. The 2011 MVP picked his cross, putting it on Santos head at the far post. The Brazilian obliged, heading back against the grain for the 4-1 lead.

Ugo Ihemelu headed in a scintillating goal deep into stoppage time to give FC Dallas a last-gasp 1-0 win over the New England Revolution at FCD Stadium. Zach Loyd placed a perfect ball from a free kick onto the left side of the box in the 95th minute. The FCD captain took advantage, rising to put the ball past Revs keeper Matt Reis for the win. Dallas were energized by the return of forward Fabián Castillo after a three-game layoff. FCD s pressure kept the Revs on their toes throughout the game. In the 20th minute, Castillo gave his team a golden opportunity to score as he streaked down right side of the field and found Carlos Rodríguez in center of the box. The Panamanian midfielder dished out a pass to countryman Blas Pérez, but the FCD target man just missed the top right corner of the goal. FCD attempted a breakthrough in the 77th minute when rookie Matt Hedges headed in a Castillo corner. The 21-year-old was whistled for a foul on the play, dismissing the goal. Reis was summoned into action as the clock ticked-down, tipping Brek Shea s deflection over the crossbar in the 87th minute. He then came off his line to head off Shea s cross to Castillo in the 91st minute. Reis could do nothing to stop Ihemelu s header, however.

Bernardo Corradi s first goal in MLS from the penalty spot had given Montreal the lead, but Blas Perez equalized in the 77th minute to set up Shea s winner. Just before halftime in the 45th minute, Castillo almost gave FCD the lead, however, Montreal goalkeeper Donavan Ricketts made a tremendous save. Montreal applied extreme pressure early in the second half paying-off when Davy Arnaud was fouled in the box by FCD defender Zach Loyd. Corradi converted on the penalty kick attempt placing the Impact at a stunning 1-0 lead. Angered by the foul call, FCD responded in a great way. In the 65th minute havoc ensued in the box after a throw-in, as both George John and Bobby Warshaw missed attempts to equalize both times. Moments later Fabian Castillo worked way in the box barely missing wide left; FCD holds firm in their defense. However, Ricketts had no chance 13 minutes from the time when Perez electrified the home crowd with a header to tie the game at 1-1. The goal came after George John s looping header hit the bar from a Daniel Hernandez free kick.

VAN: Cannon, DeMerit, Harvey, Bonjour, Young-Pyo, Davidson, Koffie, Watson, Salgado (Harris 73), Le Toux, Sanvezzo (Hassli 79). FC Dallas remained winless on the road in 2012 as Camilo s 11th minute goal hands the visiting side their first shutout of the season. The match got off to a bumpy start for Dallas before a ball was even kicked, as starting goalkeeper Kevin Hartman had to be withdrawn from the starting lineup, with Chris Seitz replacing him. Brek Shea looked dangerous, winning a number of free kicks and having a couple of shots, but none were on target.the visitors best early opportunity came after 38 minutes, when Blas Perez set Bruno Guarda up from close range. The Brazilian s shot had power, but was right at goalkeeper Joe Cannon, who stopped the shot before gathering the ball at the second attempt. On 75 minutes, Matt Watson got in behind FC Dallas captain Ugo Ihemelu, after Lee Young-Pyo found the rushing Englishman with an incisive pass. The midfielder in-turn found Camilo, but the Brazilian s effort was denied by Seitz with a fine reaction save. In the final minute Dallas defender Carlos Rodriguez who appeared to be the last man back dragged Sebastien Le Toux down. The French striker looked to be clean through but referee Edvin Jurisevic opted to give Rodriguez a yellow card rather than dismiss him.

Their best chance at scoring came in the 2nd minute when Paulo Junior created an opportunity for Alvaro Saborio, but the shot was saved by FCD goalkeeper Chris Seitz, who made his second start of the season in place of the injured Kevin Hartman. Without suspended striker Blas Perez, FCD came out in a formation and relied heavily on Fabian Castillo and Scott Sealy. Castillo pressured the Salt Lake back line throughout the first half and had a chance to give FCD an early lead in the 19th minute but goalkeeper Nick Rimando made a nice save for Salt Lake. Just two minutes later Castillo had a golden opportunity from the center of the box, but Sealy was at the wrong place at the wrong time and blocked the shot.

Pat Noonan scored a dramatic stoppage-time equalizer as the LA Galaxy salvaged a draw against visiting FC Dallas, with the Western Conference rivals tying 1-1. FCD held a 1-0 lead in the second minute of stoppage time when Noonan slipped a ball into the left corner of the net. The goal canceled out Brek Shea s 61st-minute penalty kick. Early on, FCD seemed intent on testing Gaudette. Twice in the first minute the visitors had shots but neither attempt was on frame. Just four minutes into the second half, the Galaxy were awarded a penalty kick after Jair Benitez hauled Donovan down from behind inside the penalty area. However, Keane stepped up to take the penalty kick instead of Donovan. Keane sent his attempt wide, though, as the Galaxy failed to take advantage of the opportunity. The visitors took the lead the hour after being awarded a spot kick of their own. Gaudette took down Blas Perez inside the box and picked up a yellow card for his trouble. Shea stepped up and buried the attempt as Gaudette barely moved, and FCD went up 1-0. The Galaxy had several late opportunities, including a Beckham free kick from 20 yards out that sai, but were unable to get closer until Noonan s stoppage-time winner. After a few passes inside the penalty area, Noonan collected himself and placed the ball into the left corner of the goal.

COLORADO L 2-0 MLS GAME 10 DAL FRISCO, TX FC DALLAS STADIUM DAL: Benitez, Ihemelu, John, Loyd, Castillo (Pertuz 45), Jackson (Luna 82), Hernandez, Jacobson, Perez, Sealy (Marcelin 45). COL: Kimura, Marshall (Casey 45), Moor, Zapata, Castrillon (Thompson 87), Larentowicz, Mullan, Rivero, Casclo, Cummings (Hill 14). Jaime Castrillon s 61st-minute header was all the Colorado Rapids needed to cruise to a 2-0 win against an FCD side reduced to nine men by two first-half red cards. Castrillon got on the end of a Brian Mullan cross to head the ball past FCD goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. Buoyed by their two-man advantage, the Rapids had been peppering Hartman s goal with shots before Castrillon made the breakthrough. FCD was forced to play with nine men for 55 minutes thanks to red cards to Daniel Hernandez and Blas Perez both of which came within two minutes of one another in the first half. Hernandez was issued his first yellow card in the 25th minute for dissent. In the 34th minute, Hernandez failed to pull out of a late challenge on Rivero, sending the Argentinian to the turf and earning a second yellow and subsequent red card. Just minutes later, FCD was reduced to nine men when Perez was issued a straight red card for a reckless tackle on Rapids defender Drew Moor. Rapids continued to pressure the nine-man FCD squad, and in the 65th minute Hill found himself in scoring position once again, but Hartman parried his volley out for a corner kick. Martin Rivero sealed the victory in the 74th minute. Dallas best chance came in the 32nd minute, as Perez got on the end of a Hernandez corner kick but sent his header just wide of Matt Pickens goal.

Fredy Montero scored two sensational goals in a matter of two minutes to extend Seattle s winning streak to five and give the Sounders a 2-0 road win over FC Dallas. The first of Montero s pair of scores came in the 68th minute when the Seattle striker received the ball on the right side of the box and outmaneuvered FCD defenders Hernán Pertúz and James Marcelin. Montero left both in a daze as he buried the ball in the back of the net to give Seattle a 1-0 lead. FCD tried to kill Seattle s momentum by bringing on a hobbling Brek Shea, but Montero quickly silenced the crowd with another scintillating goal, this time on a diving header that crushed any dreams of an FCD comeback. Montero put the Sounders in the driver s seat with a comfortable two-goal advantage. Without captain Ugo Ihemelu, FCD turned to rookie Matt Hedges, however, FCD failed to get anything going offensively. Perhaps their best chance at finding pay dirt came in the 39th minute when Seattle goalkeeper Bryan Meredith was forced to make an acrobatic save on Scott Sealy s header.

Both the Columbus Crew and FC Dallas snapped long scoreless streaks at Crew Stadium. Thanks to goals from Justin Meram and Sebastián Miranda, it was the home side that ran out winners, rallying past 10-man FCD to end a five-game winless streak. The visitors struck first thanks to Fabián Castillo s first goal of the season in the 22nd minute, ending a scoreless run for FCD that had reached 231 minutes. The Colombian speedster took a pass from Brek Shea along the line in front of the Crew bench. Castillo continued down the left side, cut toward the box, twisted Eric Gehrig with the dribble then bested. But the tenor of the match changed in the second half. FCD went down a man for a second time in three matches in the 63rd minute when Zach Loyd received a second caution for a foul on Meram. It took the Crew only four minutes to capitalize. Meram, who entered late in the first half after Ethan Finlay left injured, got the ball about 35 yards out after Eric Gehrig stripped the ball from Ruben Luna in the 67th minute. Five minutes later, Columbus completed their rally thanks to Miranda s snapped header from 20 yards out off a service by Nemanja Vukovic.

PHILADELPHIA D 1-1 MLS GAME 13 DAL FRISCO, TX FC DALLAS STADIUM DAL: Hartman, Benitez, Pertuz (Rodriguez 47), John, Hedges, Jackson, Jacobson, Leyva (Luna 77), Hernandez, Marcelin, Perez. PHI: Harrison, Williams, Gaddis, Valdes (Lopez 78), Gomez (Okugo 58), Farfan, Carroll, Lahoud (Martinez 55), Daniel, Mwanga, Pajoy. Panamanian countrymen Blas Pérez and Gabriel Gómez both scored their fourth goals of the year on sensational headers as FCD and the Philadelphia Union battled to a 1-1. FCD applied the pressure early and often. In the sixth minute, midfielder Andrew Jacobson pulled away from the Union defense and chipped a shot over Philadelphia goalkeeper Chase Harrison, who was just able to tip the ball and change its path. On the ensuing corner, Bryan Leyva directed the ball to the far post, which was headed into the six-yard box by George John. Seemingly out of nowhere, Pérez dove in and gave Dallas a quick 1-0 advantage. FCD continued its dominance in the first half, recording six shots on goal, including another near header by Pérez. Then, in the 73rd minute, teammate Keon Daniel sent a rocket in from outside the box that forced Kevin Hartman to make a tremendous save. FCD got its own chance in the 82nd minute. Pérez again got on the end of a ball, this time with his foot on a cross from Jair Benítez, but Harrison was there again to make the stop.

CHI: Johnson, Gargan, Anibaba, Segares, Berry, Pappa (Bone 89), Robayo, Pause, Nyarko, Grazzini (Pardo 76), Oduro (Barouch 59). The Chicago Fire were able to win their first game against FCD with a 2-1 victory, but the win didn t come easily. It took a comeback, a penalty kick save, and a favorable call against a short-handed FCD team that had not won in seven games to break the streak with the 2-1 victory. FCD struck first in the 41st minute on a corner kick play, when rookie Matt Hedges headed home a rebound that Sean Johnson initially saved. Chicago answered four minutes later, when Sebastián Grazzini dribbled twice to his left and curled a left-footed shot just over the outstretched hand of Kevin Hartman from outside the penalty area. FCD had a golden opportunity to take back the lead in the 50th minute, when Dominic Oduro took down Bruno Guarda in the penalty area earning a penalty kick. However, Johnson brilliantly saved the ensuing Blas Perez kick, and in the 62nd minute, the Fire earned a penalty kick of their own. Hartman answered Johnson s save by saving Grazzini s kick, but Marco Pappa was there to finish the rebound.

Real Salt Lake beat FCD 3-2, courtesy of a late game-winner from defender Nat Borchers. The scoring capped off a second-half frenzy that saw Alvaro Saborio get a brace for the hosts while Blas Perez and Matt Hedges found the back of the net for FCD. The game would finally open up in the 59th minute when substitute right back Terukazu Tanaka delivered a cross into the area that found Saborio ghosting across the six yard area. The Costa Rican was able to head it past Kevin Hartman for the 1-0 lead. Hedges crept into the area on a restart. He was in perfect position to pounce on a loose ball when RSL failed to clear a Zach Loyd chip, and his blast just cleared the line before keeper Kyle Reynish could parry it out. A minute later however, Saborio got his second goal of the match as he beat the FCD defense in the right channel after some neat build-up from Grabavoy and sub Johnny Steele. Saborio s 15-yard blast deflected off of Hedges and beat Hartman to the near post. But FCD showed determination and pulled level again in the 85th minute. This time it was Perez, who appeared to be well marked at the top of the area. Perez contrived space to turn and blast directly at Reynish, who watched in horror as the ball slipped through his fingers and into the net.

CHA: Irwin, Bloom, Bateau, Grousis (Williams 68), Rife, Roberts, Guzman, Toby, Salles, Ferrer (Salvaggione 78), Kwabe (Thornton 40). FCD s regular-season woes carried into US Open Cup play, and as a result, they re out of the tournament. FCD lost two starting defenders in the first half and allowed a goal shortly thereafter in an eventual 2-0 loss to the USL PRO s Charlotte Eagles, in third round play of the tournament. The Eagles Nate Thornton sent in a cross to the right side of the box in the 43rd minute for Darryl Roberts, who headed the ball to the far left side of the net past a diving FCD keeper Chris Seitz. Thornton then shut the door in the fourth minute of extra time to seal the deal.fcd lost Zach Loyd in the 24th minute after a collision with an Eagle player. George John went down six minutes later after trying to compete for a header against a Charlotte forward Joseph Kabwe in the FCD defensive zone. John walked-off the field under his own power, but after being evaluated on the sideline he was subbed out in the 41st for James Marcelin. Despite the losses, FCD had some chances early, and dominated the majority of the second half, with a golden sequence that fell just short in the 68th when Scott Sealy s header rebounded off the post, followed by Matt Hedges putting one of the crossbar. But then Jackson was shown a straight red in the 78th minute for his challenge on Charlotte keeper Clinton Irwin, forcing FCD to play out the final minutes of the match, down a man. FCD mounted a few challenges in the waning minutes, but it wasn t enough.

HOU: Hall, Ashe, Boswell, Cameron, Taylor, Carr (Clark 44), Davis, Moffat, Watson (Camargo 75), Bruin, Ching (Kandji 77). On an Adam Moffat bomb, the Houston Dynamo laid claim to El Capitan for the second straight year with a 2-1 win over FCD in the seventh edition of the Texas Derby. In the 63rd minute FCD left back Jair Benitez elbowed Colin Clark to draw straight red from Jair Marrufo. That turned a chippy game feisty, and gave the Dynamo the advantage they needed to get back on the front foot. They got it with Moffat s goal, which he roofed after Kevin Hartman flapped at a Brad Davis corner kick. FCD nearly produced a grandstand finish despite playing with 10, forcing Dynamo keeper Tally Hall into a series of big plays down the stretch. FCD defender Hernan Pertuz attempted clear of a Calen Carr cross found Bruin s knee and the deflection beat Hartman to the near post for the 1-0 lead. Largely through the play of Jackson and Fabian Castillo, they put Houston under pressure for the rest of the half and the start of the second. With Hall standing strong it looked like FCD would never find the equalizer, but it came in the 59th minute - and in appropriate fashion, with Jackson firing home a fortunate carom after some sterling build-up play. When they weren t fluffing clear chances, Houston were usually running into imposing Dallas rookie Matt Hedges, who steered the backline with Ugo Ihemelu and George john out. Hedges had perhaps has best game as a pro despite the scoreline.

Try as they might, there just wasn t a goal to be had at FCD Stadium. Defense was the name of the game on as FCD and Chivas USA played to a scoreless draw defined by a lack of chances and a few crucial saves. The deadlock set a new FCD franchise record winless streak at 11 games, while Chivas USA earned yet another respectable road result. With both Chivas USA and FCD even with just five first-half goals allowed this season, it wasn t a surprise that the teams went into the locker room scoreless. The best chance of the half fell to Chivas USA, which nearly took the lead in the 12th minute. Kevin Hartman could only parry Juan Agudelo s shot and the rebound fell to Alejandro Moreno, whose follow-up chance was deflected onto the bar and out for a corner kick. Jackson had a chance for the home team in the first half from well outside the area, but Dan Kennedy scrambled back in time to tip the Brazilian s shot wide of goal. Otherwise, both teams kept the other from finding chinks in either defense. FCD began to ratchet up the pressure as the game moved into the last 30 minutes, with Brek Shea nearly giving Dallas the lead twice in quick succession. A Daniel Hernandez corner found Shea at the far post, but his header was cleared off the line. A few minutes later, Shea s blast from an Andrew Jacobson cross was saved well by Kennedy.

TOR: Kocic, Morgan, Eckersley, Hall, Emory, Dunfield (de Guzman 81), Avila (Silva 68), Frings, Lambe, Koevermans (Soolsma 88), Johnson. Toronto FC continued their revival under head coach Paul Mariner, extending their unbeaten streak to five games with a 1-1 draw against FCD at a sold out Dallas Stadium. The draw continued the home side s slump, extending their franchise-record winless streak to 12 games, now tied for the fifth-longest in MLS history. FCD jumped out to a dream start with their earliest goal of the season. In the fifth minute, a Daniel Hernandez corner was cleared to Jackson 35 yards from goal. The Brazilian sent a curling ball to Andrew Jacobson, whose smart header back across the box was in turn headed home by Zach Loyd for his second goal of the year. In what developed into a thoroughly entertaining first half, TFC equalized through Danny Koevermans in the 31st minute. A cross from Terry Dunfield was never effectively cleared with the ball eventually falling to former Dallas man Eric Avila. Avila shook Loyd and fired in a waist-high rocket that Koevermans flicked past Kevin Hartman and into the net for his ninth goal of the season. Dallas nearly took the lead back straight away in the 33rd minute, but TFC goalkeeper Milos Kocic was able to tip Fabian Castillo s stinging shot off the crossbar and away. The save was one of two Kocic had in the first half.

FCD completed their three-game homestand undefeated, but not exactly in the way they would have planned, playing San Jose to a scoreless draw on Saturday night at FC Dallas Stadium. With the draw, FCD stretched their winless streak to 13 games, tied for the fourth longest in MLS history. The Texan squad, however, can take heart in giving the Earthquakes their first road shutout of the season thanks to a pair of timely interferences by defender Hernán Pertúz and a huge late save from goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. With Ferreira back in the midfield, FCD enjoyed some good moments in what was a cagey first half as the Colombian playmaker sent hopeful balls up to lone striker Brek Shea. But it was San Jose who nearly found the net first. The Earthquakes looked to play through center forward Gordon, and his 36th-minute flick-on freed Wondolowski past Pertúz and in on goal. The MLS leading scorer was able to chip past an on-rushing Hartman, but Pertúz recovered to clear the ball off the line in a thrilling sequence. Neither side was able to find much of a foothold in the second half, but the game sprung to life in the last 20 minutes. San Jose midfielder Ramiro Corrales was shown two yellow cards in the span of four minutes for challenges on FCD left back Carlos Rodriguez. His ejection reduced the Earthquakes down to 10 men for the first time this season.

Fabian Castillo s 81st-minute goal handed FCD their first win in three months as the visitors beat Colorado 2-1 at Dick s Sporting Goods Park. Castillo followed up a Carlos Rodriguez header, drilling his effort top shelf and handing Dallas their first win in 14 matches. Colorado hogged all the good chances early on, nearly breaking the deadlock several times in the game s first 20 minutes. Omar Cummings 10th-minute open header just missed the post, and two minutes later, Jaime Castrillon s open volley right in front of goal missed high. Castrillon got the trifecta on 18 minutes, pushing a header just over the crossbar. Five minutes into the final 45 Rapids midfielder Martin Rivero found Conor Casey peeling off the FCD backline and the big forward expertly found an unmarked Cummings in all kinds of space down the right side. The Jamaican fired home for his fifth goal of the season, beating a cheating Hartman to the near post, giving the Rapids a 1-0 lead. Colorado maintained the pressure on Dallas, nearly scoring on Casey s shot in the 52nd minute and Rivero s 55th-minute effort, but against the run of play, the visitors leveled things at 1-1 shortly afterwards. Castillo s speed created room for his cross into the box, which found the substitute Rodriguez at the back post for the 60th-minute equalizer.

FCD came to California riding off their first road victory of the season, but San Jose used first-half goals from Marvin Chávez and Alan Gordon to put an end to that streak with a 2-1 victory. The Quakes survived a 94th-minute penalty-kick miss from defender Jair Benítez, who pushed his attempt just high and over the crossbar with a road point begging to be taken. Dallas (4-10-7) fell to on the road this year, despite the debut of new Designated Player Julian de Guzman in midfield. That was thanks mostly to clinical finishing from Chávez and Gordon, who turned San Jose s only pair of shots on goal before intermission into back-breaking scores, and an inability by FCD s attack to punch any number of dangerous chances past the Quakes defense until Hernán Pertúz s flying header in the 89th minute. Chávez exacted a wicked 12th-minute strike from the edge of the box, hammering a skidding cross-field pass from Shea Salinas into the far corner for his first Earthquakes goal. Gordon doubled the advantage in the 45th minute, capping a play that began with a bad pass and turnover by Benítez in his own third. The Quakes took advantage by working the ball to Sam Cronin, who looped a 35-yard pass to the far post, where a barely marked Gordon looped a header back the other way.

FCD with no wins at home in seven matches and Portland with no wins on the road all season made for an interesting matchup. FCD scored in a big way as they heaped more road misery on Portland in a 5-0 win. In the 16th minute David Ferreira sprayed a fantastic ball out to Jair Benitez. The Colombian, sent in a low, hard cross that Hanyer Mosquera was unlucky to deflect past goalkeeper Troy Perkins to give FCD a 1-0 lead. FCD doubled their advantage soon after with another fantastic ball from Ferreira, this time to Zach Loyd on the right side. Midfielder Andrew Jacobson ran onto Loyd s lay-off and blasted a shot past Perkins from outside the box to give FCD their first two-goal lead in a first half this season. In the second half Ferreira kept up his man-of-the-match performance. Ferreira fed Jackson and the Brazilian midfielder beat two Timbers before sending in a shot that deflected off Futty Danso and into the Portland goal in the 48th minute. Sealy got into the act for FCD in the 69th minute, played through on goal by Jackson. The rout was complete in the 81st minute, when homegrown forward Ruben Luna scored a goal from a Jackson cross.

LA: Saunders, de la Garza, Gaul, Gonzalez, Lopes, Franklin, Juninho, Jimenez (Stephens 78), Sarvas, Keane, Magee (Villarreal 69). Playing without two of their three big stars, the LA Galaxy produced a fine defensive display and rode a second-half Mike Magee goal to a 1-0 win over FC Dallas. The Galaxy s central midfield duo of Marcelo Sarvas and Juninho hounded David Ferreira all evening, not allowing the Colombian to build on his two-assist performance last time out. In a cagey first half played in triple-digit temperatures, neither side was able to gain much of a foothold. Robbie Keane nearly gave LA the lead in the 35th minute, after latching onto a Magee through ball and rounding goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. But Colombian defender Hernan Pertuz slid in to clear the ball off the line. In the 62nd minute Keane controlled a bouncing ball at the top of the box and flicked it over a defender to Magee. The FCD defense chose to not close down the winger, expecting him to play a give-and-go with Keane. Instead, Magee curled a shot round a defender and into the lower corner.

A goal by FCD forward Scott Sealy in the 51st minute beautifully assisted by midfielders Brek Shea and David Ferreira had FCD in line for their second consecutive victory over Portland before a Zach Loyd red card and a late goal by Jack Jewsbury. After Julian de Guzman fluffed a perfect look two minutes into the second half, Ferreira, Shea, and Sealy combined to give the visitors the lead in the 51st minute. Shea snuck past a flat-footed Portland backline to get onto the end of Ferreira s perfectly weighted through ball. He then squared for Sealy, who had a simple tap-in for a goal. Less than 60 seconds later, however, FCD were down to 10 men when Loyd was sent off for dragging down Portland s Franck Songo o, his second yellow of the game. The Timbers continued to press, and Jewsbury was in the right place at the right time to get onto the end of a Kevin Hartman punch-out, lacing a left-footed volley that evened the score in the 79th.

Colorado took the lead in the 12th minute after Brian Mullan s first-time cross was smashed home by Jaime Castrillón. Despite FCD holding a 62 percent advantage in possession in the first half, Colorado nearly doubled their lead in the 34th minute. The home side found their equalizer in the 41st minute through Castillo. De Guzman played a ball to Castillo at the top of the box, blasting a low right-footed shot past Rapids goalkeeper Matt Pickens to level the score. FCD took the lead less than three minutes later when Castillo was fouled by Drew Moor. The FCD left back Jair Benitez found the back of the net, curling the free kick over the wall, past Pickens to give FCD a sensational 2-1 lead heading into the break. In the 49th minute, Ferreira received a pass from Castillo, slotting the ball past Pickens for his first goal since returning from his long injury layoff. The Rapids pulled a goal in the 55th minute in what quickly became a wild match. Colorado won a free kick about 30 yards from the goal and Larentowicz smashed a low drive that snuck through a crowded box and off the post.

Fabián Castillo opened the scoring in the 60th minute, receiving a flick on from David Ferreira before juking past a couple of Caps defenders and slotting a ball in off the post. Ten minutes later Ferreira made the play once again, outmuscling Andy O Brien and beating Martín Bonjour on the dribble before setting Top up for the tap-in. The home side also had a chance in the 75th minute, as Jun Marques Davidson s shot was redirected by Camilo, but went just wide of the goal from close range. In the 84th minute, Alain Rochat won a header in the FCD area from a Robson free kick, but couldn t hit the target. Five minutes from time, a kerfuffle between Davidson and Ferreira following a Lee Young-Pyo foul resulted in all three players getting booked.

FCD struck first in the 61st minute against the run of play when Castillo took a ball down the left wing. After getting to the attacking third, he made a simple pass in to Ferreira, who knocked it one-time back to his fellow Colombian just inside the penalty area. With Tony Beltran trailing, Castillo took a tough-angle shot that hit the back-right corner of the net. Salt Lake began throwing numbers forward, and it finally paid off in the 76th minute of the game. Morales hit the ball toward the back post, and like he has done many times in his career, Saborío jumped high to get his head on the ball and send it into the back corner.

Juninho provided a 66th-minute lead and Todd Dunivant added a second in the 84th as LA ( ) climbed above.500 for the first time this season, pulling within three points of second-place Seattle and third-place Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference. Villarreal, who had come on in the 59th minute, took the ball away from Hedges about 15 yards outside the FCD box, raced past goalkeeper Kevin Hartman on the left side of the box, then rolled the ball into the goalmouth for Juninho to finish. Dunivant doubled the advantage after feeding Robbie Keane in the FCD box from the left flank. Dunivant raced forward as Keane played the ball wide to Michael Stephens, whose penetrating pass left Dunivant one-on-one with Hartman from the left. The game was mostly a tight defensive clash, with both teams backlines in superb form and Hedges enjoying a fine game until the giveaway.

In the 20th minute, Zakuani received the ball on the left wing and proceeded to torch FCD right back Zach Loyd. His cross found Mauro Rosales at the back post and the Argentine tapped home his second goal of the season to give Seattle a 1-0 lead. Unsurprisingly in the 32nd minute, forward Blas Pérez, making his first start after 13 matches out due to injury, fired at goal, which turned into a pass to Jackson. Unmarked at the far post, Jackson easily slid the ball home for his third goal of the season. As the game, played in sweltering Dallas heat, wore into the second half, FCD began to push forward against a Seattle side that has never lost at FC Dallas Stadium. FCD had a golden chance to take the lead in the 68th minute when some fantastic combination play freed Jackson unmarked at the top of the box. The Brazilian took two touches before sending a low shot without much pace that Gspurning saved well to his right. FCD pushed hard for the equalizer through David Ferreira and Pérez, but they failed to create another chance as gilt-edged as Jackson s.

The win pulls FCD within one point of the Whitecaps for the fifth and final playoff spot in the West. A Whitecaps team that led MLS with 405 fouls committed heading into the match, committed six in the first 15 minutes of the match and when Martín Bonjour pulled down Matt Hedges in the box on an FCD free kick in the 16th minute, referee Allen Chapman pointed to the spot. FCD captain David Ferreira stepped up to take the penalty kick, but Knighton, making his second straight start for the Whitecaps, brilliantly saved the Colombian s effort to keep the game scoreless. A stout FCD defense led by George John and Hedges kept Vancouver without a shot on goal through the first half. The last 10 minutes of the match turned into absolute pandemonium, FCD thought they had earned an equalizer as the clock struck 90 minutes with Blas Pérez turning in a cross from Castillo, but the assistant referee signaled an offside position keeping the game scoreless. With what was nearly the final kick of the match, it was de Guzman, chesting down a Whitecaps clearance and blasting a game-winner past Knighton to keep his team s season alive.

Alan Gordon put San Jose up in 24th minute, and Lenhart provided an 82nd-minute equalizer. In the 24th minute, Chris Wondolowski dummied the ball to Gordon, who easily finished past a helpless Kevin Hartman. Jackson continued to menace the Quakes, and his run through one attempted tackle, set up FCD s first goal by Blas Pérez. In the second half, Pérez knifed between Quakes center backs Víctor Bernárdez and Jason Hernandez to head home David Ferreira s deft cross from the edge of the area and stake FCD to a 2-1 lead. Lenhart got San Jose even with a stabbing, 18-yard left-footed shot off a well-weighted layoff by Gordon. Hedges appeared to be the hero, slotting home the rebound after Pérez s redirection crashed off the post. Bernárdez made a twisting save off the line, but the ball fell to Hedges at four yards, and he found the empty net. Steven Lenhart bagged a late brace, in the 95th-minute, Lenhart headed home a ball flicked on by Gordon, from a cross by Justin Morrow, to keep San Jose s unbeaten streak at Buck Shaw Stadium intact.

Jorge Villafaña scored a 69th-minute equalizer and Kevin Hartman was forced into three big saves in the final minutes as FCD was forced to settle for a point. Just eight minutes in, left back Jair Benítez sent a long ball to the top of Chivas penalty area. Playmaker David Ferreira controlled it, had space and fired a shot on goal. Dan Kennedy dived and made the save, but left the rebound for Blas Pérez, who easily knocked it into an empty net for the game s first goal. Most of the rest of the first half was rather uneventful, but the hosts picked it up after the break. In the 69th minute, Nick LaBrocca played the ball out wide right to Miller Bolaños, who had been dangerous throughout the second half. The Ecuadorian midfielder then sent a ball across the goal area that Hartman appeared to get a piece of but not enough to stop its momentum.

The Sounders took an early lead and then put FCD s playoff hopes to rest with a pair of second-half goals in a 3-1 victory. Brad Evans scored a first-half penalty, following it up with the eventual game-winner in the 60th minutes. Fredy Montero used some fancy ball-handling skills to set up the penalty in the 32nd minute. Taking a long pass from Marc Burch, Montero pinned his defender on his back and juggled the ball a couple times to set up a shot on his left foot. Before he could shoot, Hernan Pertuz dragged him and referee Baldomero Toledo immediately pointed to the spot, with Evans coolly finishing the penalty. FCD got a window of opportunity in the 41st minute when they were given a free kick 35 yards out. Ricardo Villar put in a dangerous ball to the far post that deflected back across the goal box. Perez was waiting for it, and he pounded it into the back of the net for his ninth goal of the season. The Sounders put the game away in the 79th minute when Mauro Rosales, only needed to tap in a ball that Fredy Montero had sent across the goalmouth.

Winger Ryan Smith was a constant threat through the first stanza and found some space on the left side to send a cross in to the feet of Juan Agudelo. Smith took a good first touch but sent his shot wide from less than ten feet out as the clock struck 45 minutes. Blas Pérez was given a golden opportunity in the 48th minute when Castillo s ball found him unmarked in front of the goal, but his shot couldn t find the goal. The breakthrough finally came in the 73rd minute when David Ferreira sent a ball over the top to a streaking Jackson. The Brazilian took a slight touch before using his knee to chip the ball over an on-rushing Tim Melia. Castillo finally got his goal in the 80th minute beating Melia to the far post. Chivas showed late signs of life, however, as Courtois beat Hartman from the top of the box as the game moved into the 90th minute.
